UniTime: Open Source, Open Algorithms, Open Innovation

Many universities contribute to UniTime, producing their own features and adaptations that are played back into the software for the general good. All UniTime code is available in GitHub, and UniTime's algorithms have been widely published in research papers and conference proceedings. Open source. Open algorithms. Open Innovation.

The Juilliard School: Identity and Access Management with CAS

When the Juilliard School needed to securely connect its constituents to both local and cloud applications, it decided on open source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions as the answer. With open source IAM solutions, programmers can review and validate the code, and users can collaborate and know that the information they are sharing will be delivered correctly and securely, to the appropriate group(s). Based on this conclusion, the Juilliard School chose to adopt Apereo Central Authentication Service (CAS) as its IAM solution.

uPortal at the California Community College System

Like most colleges, the California Community Colleges (CCC) wanted to implement a portal for their students that would simplify access to important information and services. It would be designed to increase student understanding of the importance of education planning, activities, and campus-based resources that can help keep them stay on track to complete their educational and career goals. CCC chose to develop their “MyPath” Student Portal using Apereo uPortal, a scalable solution that supports multi-tenancy, responsive design, and integration with an identity provider. Apereo community software updates and existing services helps CCC reduce costs and save funding - funding that can then go towards innovation and support of students.

St. Petersburg College and Student Success Plan

Like all educational institutions, St. Petersburg College in Florida has the goal of enhancing student retention, increasing student success, and improving students’ ability to graduate on time.

To support these goals, SPC needed technology that would help them record information about students and to tracking, identifying and resolving problems quickly – preferably before they were encountered. After reviewing their options, SPC adopted Apereo Student Success Plan (SSP).

UniTime and the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University

When the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University was faced with building renovation, the old manual timetabling process was no longer sufficient. "This class has always been in this room on Monday morning" and "this professor likes this room" just wasn't going to cut it. They adopted and adapted UniTime, and schedules were published eight weeks after adoption.

We would like to announce a new university course timetabling competition. Building on the success of the earlier timetabling competitions, the International Timetabling Competition 2019 is aimed to motivate further research on complex university course timetabling problems coming from practice.

For the meeting taking place January 16-19, 2019 at ETH Zurich, the Opencast community is looking for contributions related to the use and management of video in academia. With a focus on Opencast, course capture, and video management, we are particularly keen to hear from educational technologists and designers, instructors, or service providers working with video to support teaching and learning.

Apereo relies to a significant extent on the participation and contributions of volunteers – both institutional and individual. The Foundation Board – who are elected and serve in a volunteer capacity - are now setting out to turn the strategic plan into practice. We are asking for your help.

It's been several months since the ELMS:LN team started talking to anyone who would listen about our new project called HAX (Headless Authoring eXperience). We've been refining the message, improving its capabilities, and presenting about it anywhere we can. Our latest video video consolidates everything about HAX, including why it's needed and what the current, terrible state of the technology experience for designers, educators, and students.
